Tuesdays, September 25 - November 13 (class will not meet on October 9) 7:30 - 9 pm with Laura Burges

Is human happiness possible? Find out the surprising answer in this class, "Buddhist Perspectives on Happiness, Part II." Buddha said that he taught about suffering and about an end to suffering. In this class, we will consider Buddhist teachings that promote equanimity and peace, as well as brain research that sheds light on this question.

Please obtain a copy of the text for the class, Beyond Happiness by Ezra Bayda, and bring writing materials.

It is not necessary for you to have joined us for Part I in order to take this class. Please register by September 20.
